Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

These vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are a healthy twist on a classic favorite! They’re soft and cakey, with just the right amount of sweetness. This is the pefect fall dessert!

I’m not someone who goes crazy over pumpkin but I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! I wanted to create a recipe that would be a little healthier than a regular cookie and I’m so happy with how these turned out!

I thought I’d keep these cookies vegan so more of you can enjoy them. They don’t require any sort of egg substitute and they have a lovely, fluffy texture. These almost remind me of muffin tops! If you like soft, fluffy cookies, these are for you!

Tips for perfect vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

If you want to keep these vegan, make sure your chocolate chips are vegan. Enjoy Life is a brand that makes a great dairy-free chips!

Be careful not to over bake these cookies. These are a softer, chewier cookie, vs. a crispy, crunchy edge. The texture is similar to a muffin top.

Unfortunately, coconut flour tends to absorb a lot of liquid so it’s not a great one for one swap with regular flour. I think this recipe would be fine with gluten free flour but coconut flour probably wouldn’t yield great results!

These look great, I have a question though, what is the point of the applesauce in this recipe? With using the pumpkin you shouldn’t need another puree to fill in for the egg, should you? Could I leave out the applesauce and add an extra 2 Tbsp of pumpkin?
